God Spotlight: The Maw

Take a look at the newest god spotlight from The Deadly Path;

will you pledge allegiance to...



[h2]Plain Text Version:[/h2]
[h3]The Maw[/h3]
A barbaric and highly omnivorous being, The Maw had to be taught to restrain itself by the Mother Of Tears during its early evolution.

Its constant desire to feed caused issues amongst its siblings, who resented having to share living space with its growling stomach and revolting physical presence.

The ascension to the surface world gave The Maw new hunting grounds in which to carry out its wicked practices. Here, it roamed freely, devouring the foul flora and fauna of Oscurandyth, acre by rotting acre.

It soon began to hunt and feast on the living, once the descendants of the First Crones began to populate the world in earnest.

For this, and for countless other reasons, The Maw came to be seen as the main evil among the mortal beings of Oscurandyth. It was the god they wanted to expel with the most urgency and contempt, and a large part of their motivation for joining forces with The Low Ones to enact the curse of banishment.

God Spotlight: Brass Leviathan

Check out the brand new god spotlight from The Deadly Path;

[h2]The Brass Leviathan[/h2]



[h3]Plain Text:[/h3]

A gargantuan being of draconic and serpentine qualities, its huge brass scales demonstrate both its physical strength and raw defensive power. Corrupted over time, the Brass Leviathan wanted merely to slumber in the dark depths of the world’s planetary matter.

However, its creators, the Most High, had other plans and summoned it to the surface world of Oscurandyth. Whilst there, it lingered in the cavernous craters and dark recesses of the landscape, carving out continents with its scaled tail and ferocious jaws.

However resentful it was of the surface world initially, its fury reached new peaks when it fell victim to the betrayal of its subordinate gods, the world’s eternal beings and their mortal descendants.

Condemned to the cave of origination as part of the curse, rather than the abyssal depths from whence it came, the Brass Leviathan’s rage is perhaps amongst the most deadly and understandable.

For a being of such size to be physically constricted to suffer in a confined space is unthinkable.
